Looks good man. No visible major errors or screw ups. Which is always a great start!It could be darker tho. Tell us how you'd doing the dye and maybe we can help ya with that. Tell us how long you're letting it sit for, the temperature setting.. All that jazz.

after watching a video or two and then looking at some of your tutorial, I heated my dye up to where it was just about hot enough to not touch the pot. turned it to low and set the disc in. I kept the heat on for 10 out of the 30 min soak. maybe it is just a rit to water ratio that is off? I used one package and 40oz of water... any pointers??

Well it sounds like you got the heat right. And that should be more than enough Rit for it to dye really well. Personally I keep the heat on for the entire dye. Maybe it's just the quality of the pictures. As long as it looks like a BOLD solid black color to you in person then that's all you need. But great first tries.

I like them both, but the curves and patience required for that second one...kudos. It could very well be the pictures AciDBatH, they look grainy like they were taken with a webcam or phone camera...both of which have crap ISO settings when taking pictures in low incandescent light. Sweet looking dyes though.

I think that acidbath was talking about the second dye when it come to dark and light...The picture doesn't do justice for actual disc. It is a little bit darker but i was hoping for it to turn out much darker like the orange disc did. I understand that the color is gonna look a lot darker on a colored disc but oh well im satisfied.

Anyways, a package of RIT to 40 oz of water should be ok... try reducing your water to 1/2 and mix it really well. More concentrated = less time in the pan, win-win in my book. Find an old wide-mouth jar to save the dye for your next dabble.

No on both of your accounts. I was wearing a blue "Northern Environmental" long-sleeve & got 2nd in Adv (damn you rusch_bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). The one who got the 10-mini "prize" is a friend of mine though.
